I barely got to see the larger part of
Des Moines on my visit to a local neighborhood with friends,
but I was impressed with just my brief view of the Iowa State
Capital building there. It was also fun to see the signature
farmland of Iowa outside of town. (2016)

A
view of downtown Des Moines. The
five-domed Iowa State Capital Building is a signature part of
the Des Moines sky line.Here you see
a bit more of the downtown area near the Des Moines River that
runs through it. You can see much of
the signature farmland of Iown while driving into Des Moines.
